after reading half of page 1, I jumped to the end to reply, and skipped a bunch.
I have a 1970 Cuda that I repaired with fiberglass. it looks decent, I'd say good for a high quality driver, but not quite show car.
I haven't bought a new grille because I don't need it yet. looks like I might have to reconsider before they disappear.
I bought the Goodmark quarters because after a year or 2 on the market, there was rumor that they might not do another run, and that once the current run is gone, they're gone for good, so I wanted to get a set NOW, even if I have to keep them in boxes for a year or 2 while waiting for funds, time, and space to work on my car--moving twice in 2 years makes it hard to set up a shop and work on a long term restoration project.

just went through your website again...MAN you keep adding more stuff! I see a bunch of parts that I definitly need, and some others that I would possibly need, if my originals can't be cleaned up. quite possibly $3K in parts that I definitly need, and maybe as high as $5-7K in parts including what I might need Too bad that we're still working on a 6month emergency savings account, which should be done in the next 5 to 6 months, after that point, I need to get the body work done on the car, which will quite possibly take a year or so, and probably take me a year or year and a half to pay for, after which point, I'll be finally ready to start buying parts like what you offer, to bolt back onto my car. Anyone wanna give me $12K for a big block dakota so I can get a jump start on getting this car done?

Im helping my bro with his 70 and needs a grill but I am confused.
I did some checking on BAE and from what Im told all their stuff is made in China. So since they can't sell the 70 grills BAE is going to shred them up for $0.50 pound and send the pieces back to China to make other parts? Ya...right!!!
Hmmm. Am I the only one that thinks this guy is full of himself? I agree with Scaregrabber, it does sound like "I am taking my ball and going home tactics."
If he wasn't so full of it, I'll offer to to buy your grill inventory at $0.10 on the dollar which is way better than $0.50 per pound + shipping to China? Should be a good deal for BAE since "you can write off a loss."
How many do you want to scrap out?

Did your "checking on BAE" consist of talking directly with Mike Ross or an officer of the company concerning this matter? If not, your input about this scenario is nothing more than unsubstantiated gossip.
It amazes me how people will take the time to talk with everyone other than those who are actually involved in a particular situation. By the way, the company that you did some "checking on" is BE&A......not BAE. That could explain the incorrect information you conveyed in this thread.

I would be interested in one of the 71 Grilles when funds become available again. I won't drive my 71 due to the fact I am not going to risk my 71 front end to an accident and have to deal with finding parts for it made from unobtainium!!!
I am going to store my stock 71 Cuda front end and already have repop fenders and gills for the car. A grille would allow me to take my mint OEM grille and put it away also.
Not to side track the post on the grilles. But for those that read Bill Rolik stating that Dynacorp may be doing complete bodies, I talked to the guys at Dynacorp directly at the 2007 SEMA show about that possibility. The guy told me FLAT OUT NO!!! They would not be doing Cuda bodies. Of course like anything else, I guess you can never say never.

Come on... do you REALLY not drive your car because you think you can't find another front end? If so, that is tragic.
Life's too short man, hit the road. Your parts are out there. I don't know how many times I've beat the snot out of my car on the road and not smashed the front end. And if I did... so what? Beats the scenario where I lie on my deathbed wishing I would have lived a little...What good is a car you can't drive? Lots of stuff can happen. People die on roller coasters.... are you gonna avoid a roller coaster? If so, why ever even leave the house?
